Watch out for
- The fund is marked Disbursed — no new money is coming. Anyone asking you to pay a fee to recover from this settlement is running a scam.
- Only securities with these specific CUSIPs qualified: common stock (#440694305), 3.8% convertible senior notes (#440694AB3), 10.50% senior secured notes (#440694AC1, #440694AE7, #440694AF4), and 9% senior unsecured notes (#440694AG2).
- The official settlement website is horseheadlitigation.com — any other domain handling claims for this case is not legitimate.
We prepare — you file on the official site yourself. This is not legal advice and is not an eligibility decision; the administrator and court decide.
